West Creek 3 (12073), United States of America, Richmond, VirginiaSenior Manager, Methodologies and Practices, Technology Risk Management

Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today, powered by our passion for our customers. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute : Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years.

Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity, reliability, and managing technology risk.

For years, the cybersecurity community has debated whether the CISO should report to the CIO or not. In regulated financial services, the answer is : both.

The first-line CISO has operational responsibilities and reports to the CIO. The second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Technology Risk Management (TRM) organization have broader responsibilities for cybersecurity but also reliability, software quality, resilience, and other technology risks.

The CTRO is independent, reports to the Chief Risk Officer, and oversees the work of the CISO and the CIO.
